MAT COLLISHAW

MoNA founder, David Walsh invited ‘bio-cultural scientist-philosophers’ to collaborate with artists and guest curate an exhibition surrounding theories of why humans are driven to make art. Collishaw worked in partnership with evolutionary psychologist Geoffrey Miller to produce Centrifugal Soul, a work that illustrates how the human capacity for making art stems from natural instincts of courtship and reproduction.

Collishaw’s zoetrope sculpture brings to life birds of paradise as they perform elaborate mating dances and extract pollen from wild blossom. Meanwhile, flowers burst into brilliant bloom as a way to attract pollinating birds. The zoetrope itself is also visual enticement, designed to attract and seduce the viewer in a similar way.

CHRISTIAN LOCK

Christian Lock will be the first exhibition at Adelaide's new contemporary art organisation from the merger of the Australian Experimental Art Foundation and the Contemporary Art Centre of South Australia. The exhibition will be presented at the Lions Art Centre, in Adelaide, South Australia.

Launching from the 15/3/2017
